Is it true Di Maria wanted to come to City to team up with DM, SA and PZ but we said we weren't interested?
According to the Observer Sport he was offered repeatedly to MCFC.

No explanation as to why City declined, but I assume that it was down to the FFP sanctions. It would have been a choice of Mangala or Di Maria

Silva. Nasri. Navas. Jovetić. Milner.

Enough reasons?

Yes, and unlike the rags (going for the headline signing) we signed the player where we most needed to strengthen on the pitch.

We can only guess at City's reasons. In my opinion if we had the financial resources I am sure we would have done the deal, but we had to sign a central defender.

We scored 100 goals plus last season. Firepower was not the No. 1 issue, but if we could have afforded the player, I'm sure we would have tried to get him.

12 months time some say we'll be in the market for players like him, but the problem is they don't always become available every window.

Yeah, I think you're right Marvin.

If it wasn't for FFPR, we know we have the resources to sign any player we want and as you say, those of di Maria's quality don't come along every day. And as you said, a top-quality centre-back was a much more pressing need

My post about the five players I mentioned was slightly tongue-in-cheek, though no one can deny their quality.
 
The may well loose their new signing Marcos Rojo for a while too

According to the People
prosecutors want him to stand trial in Argentina following a bottle attack on a neighbour if found guilty he could face up to a year in Jail
 
If they sign Di maria, Vidal Dejong and Blind, having signed Herrera, Rojo and Shaw, that will take this summers spending to about 200m, they surely can't afford to keep doing that over the next few windows can they, even with the spending power they have? Because they haven't really addressed the defence yet!!!
